  • God speed Jurgen.

  • Speaking of Klinsmann, he’s doing a Google+ Hangout at 11:45 a.m. ET today. Have at it.

  • In Europa League round of 32 action, Aron Johannsson started and played 75 minutes for AZ Alkmaar in a 1-1 draw against Czech side Liberec, advancing 2-1 on aggregate. Brad Friedel watched from the bench as Tottenham scored three unanswered goals in the second half to win 3-1 against Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, going through 3-2 on aggregate.

  • The Rio Summer Olympics may be more than two years away, but it’s never too early to think ahead. Brian Sciaretta gave his picks for who will make the U.S. roster for the U.S. roster for the 2016 Games.

  • Los Angeles Times article on the never-ending high school vs. club team debate. One coach: "I think it goes against the entire American way of life, where kids play for their high school, then their college, then the pros." U-S-A.
